Coming to the Rescue

Week of October 25, 2010

During the height of the rainy season, much of the country experienced damage from heavy rains that they had not seen in over 90 years. It was caused by a Hurricane headed up the Pacific Coast. The hurricane did not touch land, but it sure got us wet. In fact, 36 inches of rain in 3 days! There were landslides, bridges out and roads caved in. Bob & Harriet were on their way back from Panama where they took a trip to renew their visas, and got stuck on the South Pacific Coast for 5 days because the road was out. Another part of their mission was to bring back 3 Butterball turkeys for us that were going to be the main course for our Thanksgiving Day Celebration.

Another thing that happened was that there was an incident involving a landslide at the property owned by Charlie and his partners - I called Charlie and said "you really need to come down here and check this out." He and Rick Dixon arrived and inspected the situation. Ricky is a builder and knows a lot about things like this. So they decided he needed to come down with Charlie.

Unfortunately, two days after they got here, Ricky got a call that his Uncle had died and had to head back home the next day. This picture was taken the day before Ricky left.


Now, it was up to Charlie to handle the situation. This he did in fine fashion and the repairs are now being made.

Sure wish you guys could have stayed longer
